“It was hid a million years before men were and only men have the power to wake it. —Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian When I found out that Shannon had my locket, I was very angry. Angry with everyone. Shannon herself, of course, but also Poppy for stealing it in the first place. And most of all with Julia, the sneaky, self-righteous little bitch. I didn’t find out Shannon had the locket for a long time. Poppy claimed that she had sold it anonymously on eBay. In fact, she had given it to Shannon ...as payment for one of her junkie debts, and it was Shannon who had put it online. Julia just told me she had seen the locket on eBay, and that it had taken her several days to track Poppy down . As neither of them mentioned Shannon—who was in possession of the wretched thing all along—I assumed the transaction had been a direct trade between the two of them. I discovered the truth only when Livy started sniffing around. Between the three of them, they caused Shannon’s death. After following Livy into Shannon’s Torquay flat, it was easy to trail her to that cottage of Julia’s in Lympstone.MoreLessRead More Read Less
